Back in June of this year, Angelina Jolie hosted the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in London. It was a high-profile event which drew wide media attention and raised awareness to vital issues like war-time rape and sexual assault in conflict zones. In the middle of the summit, the announcement came: Queen Elizabeth was anointing Angelina with a ?Dame? title. To be more specific, Angelina became an honorary Dame Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George for extraordinary service to U.K. foreign policy. The Queen gave Angelina the title on the recommendation of William Hague. At the time, Angelina met with Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, and I thought that was as good as it was going to get. BUT NO. Today, Angelina went to London to receive her honorary title from the Queen.
Angelina Jolie, the Oscar-winning actress, has been made an honorary dame by the Queen for her campaigning work fighting sexual violence and for services to UK foreign policy. The film star, best known for her role in Hollywood blockbuster Tomb Raider, was presented with the award during a private audience with the Queen at Buckingham Palace.
Jolie was recognised in the Diplomatic Service and Overseas Birthday 2014 Honours list and received the honorary damehood (DCMG) for services to UK foreign policy and the campaign to end war-zone sexual violence. During the audience, the Queen presented the actress with the insignia of an Honorary Dame Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of St Michael and St George. As a foreign citizen Jolie, the co-founder of the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative PVSI, cannot be addressed as Dame, but receives the award on an honorary basis.
The award was first announced in June during the week when Jolie was co-chairing the End Sexual Violence in Conflict (ESVC) global summit in London with then foreign secretary William Hague.
She said at the time: ?To receive an honour

We?re still more than two months away from the release of Angelina Jolie?s Unbroken, but that doesn?t mean that Angelina Jolie and her people are staying quiet. Jolie is already promoting the film in international interviews, and the cast of Unbroken have been talking too. Jai Courtney, a sexy Aussie actor cast as one of the Americans, told HuffPo that Angelina is a ?fantastic? director and he loved every part of making the film. Universal just announced that Angelina and Jack O?Connell will premiere Unbroken in Sydney, Australia in December as a ?thank you? for hosting the production. Angelina and Universal have gone out of their way to invite Australian heroes too!
Meanwhile, for People Magazine?s 40th anniversary issue (the one with Taylor Swift on the cover), they asked various stars ?What advice would you give to your younger self?? Angelina had some good advice:
People: What advice would you give to your younger self?
Jolie: ?Not to change anything. I would probably say enjoy the freedom as much as you can possibly can before it goes away. Enjoy the walks in the park and the backpacking and traveling and living. Which I did, but I would have liked to have done more before it became a little less easy to do so. You can never prepare for the future because it?s all those things that build up to who you are. You have to let your younger self be scared of things and attack things head on. Make bold choices and make mistakes, and it?s all those things that add up to the person you later become.?
[From People Magazine, print edition]
I like the way Angelina has always owned her past. She grew up as a young adult in the spotlight ? I mean, she?s been doing interviews and getting media attention since she was about 19/20. Angelina didn?t really start to become the woman she is today until her mid-20s. She made a lot of mistakes and dumb choices in her early adulthood, and those mistakes and choices were thrown in her face over and over again. There are still people today who criticize her for crap she did in 1999, for goodness sake. But Angelina doesn?t regret that stuff because it?s made her who she is today. Good for her.

From what (little) I know of Angelina Jolie?s By the Sea script, it?s just a flat-out drama. Like, it?s dialogue heavy and it?s just some artsy, sexy stuff that can be filmed pretty quickly and with very little CGI. Still, the British gossips would have us believe that Angelina and Brad Pitt are ?in training? for the film. Is it FOR the film or are they merely doing a joint couple-activity for fun? I don?t know. But sources say they?re taking Krav Maga lessons.
They met on the set of high octane flick Mr & Mrs Smith, where they played married secret assassins. And the lives of newlywed couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are now imitating their art as they have taken up training in a form of military-style unarmed combat, together.
The couple – who married in France last month – have been practicing a form of Israeli self defence known as Krav Maga to help them prepare for their upcoming movie By The Sea. Brad, 50, has only recently adopted the discipline, which the couple now practise several days a week, while wife Angelina started learning self defence to train for her Tomb Raider role in 2001.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: ‘Angelina previously learnt Krav Maga when she was doing Tomb Raider and loved it.’
The A-list acting couple, who have six children together, Maddox, 13, Pax, 11, nine-year-old Zahara, eight-year-old Shiloh and six-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne are impressed with the fitness properties of the combat classes, which are thought to burn hundreds of calories each time. Fight Club actor Brad is believed to have lost more than 10 pounds after participating in the intense military-style exercise classes for just three weeks and is even letting his kids join in the fun.
‘The whole family are learning the moves,’ the source continued. ‘Even the little ones are doing modified kids’ moves but Brad has been doing it for 45 minutes a day and has dramatically lost weight and beefed up his muscles for the film.’
[From The Daily Mail]
See, I think they?re just saying the Krav Maga lessons are for fun, or for a workout, not that Krav Maga will be used in the film. I used to be really interested in Krav Maga because it seemed like a smart, efficient self-defense system that borrowed some good ideas from other methods. But I?ve read some articles about how Krav Maga isn?t all that and all the cool kids do Muay Thai or Taekwondo because those are the better systems overall. I?ve also heard (but never verified) that Krav Maga shouldn?t be a ?fun class? for kids, that it?s too dangerous. But then every child in my town started taking Krav Maga classes, so I don?t know. But if the Jolie-Pitt children really are taking Krav Maga… watch out. Looks like there really IS a Jolie-Pitt Child Army.

Brangelina Wedding Coverage, Day 7. I?m not sure how I feel about all of the wedding info coming out in drips and drabs, but we finally got our hands on the print edition of People Magazine, so FINALLY I?m able to pass on all of the details about what really matters: the wedding food. YES. Here are my random thoughts as I?m going through People?s cover story:
*Shiloh wore a top hat, obviously. But did you know that Knox also wore a special hat? It looks like an old-school admiral?s hat. Like, Knox is working his very own nautical theme.
*Brad honestly didn?t see Angelina?s dress until she walked down the aisle.
*The kids wrote the vows that Brad and Angelina spoke to each other. ?They asked us to make promises to each other,? Angelina says.
*The cake that Pax made was ?adorably askew? and ?generously frosted.? There is a photo of the cake which looks like it?s about six cakes all stacked on top of each other. Pax looked very proud of it but I swear that Maddox is giving it the side-eye.
*Vivienne and Zahara tossed the rose petals but Z was in charge of holding the petal basket, only I swear that the ?basket? is just a ceramic souffl dish. The petals were hot pink.
*Not only did Brad have a stone engraved in the chapel in honor of Marcheline Bertrand, but both Angelina and James Haven wore special pieces of jewelry that once belonged to Marcheline. Angelina wore ?a little flower ring? on her index finger and James Haven wore an angel pin that he found in Marcheline?s jewelry box.
*Angelina designed Brad?s wedding band and he designed hers, all in association with Robert Procop. For the wedding, Angelina wore a pair of earrings that she already owned (I?m looking closely? they just look like simple pearls?).
*The wedding gown inspiration? Princess Fiona from Shrek. Hand to God!
*Versace tailor Luigi Massi has known Angelina for years and years and he ?knows and cares for the children,? as Angelina says. He was apparently fine with adding all of the kids? drawings on the gown and veil.
*WEDDING FOOD: ?kid friendly, BBQ-style fare, washed down with award-winning Miraval rose from the couple?s vineyards and Jolie?s beverage of choice, Bosnian rose petal juice ? a sweet drink made from brewed rose petals, strained and blended with simple syrup. Dessert included Pax?s cake along with several flavors of sorbet and chocolate and vanilla ice cream.?
*Brad?s parents posed for a really cute photo with Viv, Shiloh, Knox and Zahara. Both Jane and Bill wore all-black (I suppose in honor of Angelina!!).
[From People Magazine (premium)]
My new favorite detail is about the Bosnian rose petal juice. How fancy!
Last thing ? Us Weekly?s sources claim that months ago, Angelina was seen ?stocking up? on bridal magazines in Hollywood. Back in May, she stopped by the Daily Planet and bought up copies of Martha Stewart Weddings and other wedding/bridal mags. My theory: she just bought the magazines for Zahara and Z was the one who acted as wedding coordinator for the Jolie-Pitt children. I can picture Z with a highlighter and post-its to mark the magazine pages. Can?t you?

Ha, we?re getting more details about The Brangelina Wedding from Hello and People Magazine. People led me to believe that Angelina?s wedding gown was made by Luigi Massi, the ?master tailor? of Versace. But Donatella Versace wants everyone to know that SHE designed the gown, Massi just made it, I guess. Donatella gave Us Weekly a look at her sketches for the gown (you can see the sketch here) and Donatella tells Us Weekly: ?Angelina has it all. Beauty, class and brains. I wish the best for her and her wonderful family.? Oh, and she says that Angelina also wore white silk satin pumps by Versace too. Do you want more details? I enjoyed this:
More from Mr. and Mrs. Jolie-Pitt! Angelina Jolie walked down the aisle on Saturday, Aug. 23, to the tune of her husband Brad Pitt humming the “Wedding March.” The couple shared the details behind their super-secret wedding in the latest issue of the UK’s Hello! magazine, including any potential honeymoon plans and how their six kids were actively involved in planning the ceremony.
“We wanted it to be intimate and it was,” the newlyweds told the mag of their ceremony, which was held in a chapel on their Southern French estate, Chateau Miraval. “It was important to us that the day was relaxed and full of laughter. It was such a special day to share with our children and a very happy time for our family.”
Indeed, the Jolie-Pitt kids — Maddox, 13, Pax, 10, Zahara, 9, Shiloh, 8, and 6-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox — each had a say on his/her involvement in the nondenominational ceremony. “They picked their clothes and their duties,” Brangelina told Hello! “They all took it very seriously. Knox practiced carrying coins and acorns on his little pillow before he got the ring.” (Later, Hello! learned that one of the kids dropped a ring.)
As Us Weekly confirmed last Thursday, Aug. 28, Jolie, 39, walked down the aisle with her eldest sons Maddox and Pax. Daughters Zahara and Vivienne “threw petals gathered from the garden,” their spokesperson told Us, while second oldest daughter Shiloh and youngest son Knox were ring bearers.
According to the mag, when the A-listers kissed at the altar, Shiloh had to stifle herself with the ring cushion to stop laughing out loud.
“They are our best friends and the people closest to us in our lives,” the couple told Hello!
The bride even wanted her kids to make a mark on her custom-designed gown by Atelier Versace — literally. “I wanted the kids to be a part of everything including the dress, because that’s our family,” Jolie told Hello! of her white silk-satin gown embroidered with drawings from her six kids. “That represents the way we live out life together.” Hilariously, one illustration on Jolie’s veil read “Buttock Fatock.”
Even after the ceremony, the newlyweds enjoyed a cake baked by Pax. To celebrate the joyous occasion, the family ate a home-cooked provincial-style meal on the grounds of their estate. Pitt’s parents, William and Jane, as well as his brother Doug and sister Julie, were all present to toast the couple.
As for any potential honeymoon plans? “We are making a film [By the Sea] about an unhappily married couple. It’s not lost on us what a strange honeymoon it is!” Brangelina joked of their film, currently being shot in Malta. As exclusively reported by Us, the two share some “crazy sex scenes” in the movie.
“It’s a wonderful feeling to be married,” the couple concluded. “The children are so happy.”
[From Us Weekly]
I love the details ? Pax baked a cake! Knox practiced his ringbearer duties but Shiloh did not! I get the feeling that Shiloh was the ring-dropper too. That kid is such a handful ? I bet Angelina sees a lot of herself in Shiloh. Hello also noted the fact that Brad did something special to remember Angelina’s mom – Brad had a stone engraved “with a tribute to Bertrand at the spot where they said ‘I do’ in the chapel at Chateau Miraval.” Aw.
LaineyGossip had some of the scans from Hello ? go here to see. The setting looks very minimalist and Maddox is so friggin? tall these days. Oh, and James Haven WAS there. He?s just super-discreet, which is good.

Well, well. I wondered last week if Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were going to sell/give away their wedding photos to People Magazine and Hello, and wouldn?t you know? It happened. I don?t know if People/Hello paid for this exclusive, but I suspect they did. Or at the very least, the magazines made a substantial contribution to one of the Jolie-Pitt foundations or charities. You can read Hello?s exclusive here, and here?s People?s article:
When Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie went about planning their big day, they didn’t have to look far to find the perfect wedding planners: their six children.
The intimate Aug. 23 ceremony ? attended by just 20 friends and family members ? was held in the chapel of Chteau Miraval, the family’s estate in the French village of Correns. The wedding ? including exclusive photos of the ceremony, Jolie’s unique dress (decorated with her children’s artwork!) and the entire family’s celebration ? is featured in this week’s issue of PEOPLE, in conjunction with Hello! magazine internationally.
Each child had a key role to play: Eldest sons Maddox, 13, and Pax, 10, walked their mom down the aisle; flower girls Zahara, 9, and Vivienne, 6, tossed petals gathered from the garden; and Shiloh, 8, and Knox, 6, served as ring bearers. The kids also helped write their parents’ vows. And Pax baked the cake!
“It was important to us that the day was relaxed and full of laughter,” Pitt, 50, and Jolie, 39, tell PEOPLE. “It was such a special day to share with our children and a very happy time for our family.”
Even Jolie’s dress was an expression of her kids’ creativity: Luigi Massi, the master tailor at Atelier Versace, sewed dozens of designs from her children’s drawings into the dress and veil.
“Luigi is like family to me and I couldn’t imagine anyone else making this dress,” says Jolie. “He knows and cares for the children and it was great fun putting it together.”
Pitt wore a suit from his closet ? with a tie borrowed from one of his sons because Pitt forgot to pack his. Zahara’s dress was designed by family friend Adama Kebe. Maddox, Pax, Shiloh, and Knox wore black suits (Shiloh’s included shorts and a top hat), and Vivienne wore a white dress from her closet. Jeweler Robert Procop, who designed Jolie’s engagement ring, created the couple’s wedding bands.
[From People]
I?m not disappointed with the kids at all, but THIS DRESS is a nightmare. I?m not even talking about the kids? drawings on the back, although the execution of that is? not very good. But the silhouette, the design, the style of the dress just doesn?t suit her. Angelina is good in streamlined clothes and I really don?t get the bust of this dress at all. Ugh! Oh well. It wasn?t my wedding. Everything else is fine, I guess. I?m just grumbling about the dress. (And Shiloh wore WEDDING SHORTS! Montenegro Style!)

They opted for a teeny-tiny wedding last weekend in France, but what Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's nuptials lacked in attendance, it made up for in elegance.
According to an E! News source, the ?Girl Interrupted? actress wore a white dress when she said ?I Do? with her ?Fight Club? hubby.
The bridal gown was ?very traditional, but very Angie. It was comfortable but plain white floor-length antique lace and silk.?
Ms. Jolie also "definitely wore something that once belonged to [her mother] Marcheline Bertrand- a small gold locket with a photo of her mom inside it. She also had a veil and when Brad lifted it [he] gasped because she looked so stunning."
As for the Jolie-Pitt kids, "The boys all wore tiny matching cream linen suits which were just like Brad's [tux] while the girls had each chosen a dress to match their own individual style and they had them specially made."

Here are the first photos of Angelina Jolie as a married lady. I don?t understand why these pics are such poor quality. Surely every paparazzo in Europe has descended upon Malta to stake out the set of By the Sea? That?s where Angelina is now, in Malta, prepping By the Sea. Brad Pitt, her HUSBAND, should be there shortly if he?s not already there. Angelina wrote the script and she?ll be directing it. People Mag had a nice write-up about their ?Maltese honeymoon?:
They finally tied the knot. Now, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are heading to their honeymoon ? and it’s a sexy mix of work and play. Pitt, 50, has been doing press in London (where he gave a peek at his new wedding ring!) for his upcoming World War II drama, Fury. But the actor is expected to soon join Jolie, 39, in Malta, where she is prepping for their first onscreen reunion since 2005?s Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
Here’s where things get really interesting: The film, By the Sea, which has been described as “an intimate, character-driven” drama and was written by Jolie herself, is far from family-friendly. Pitt and Jolie play a married couple in the south of France who become sexually obsessed with their neighbors. (One of the neighbors is played by French actress Mlanie Laurent, who costarred with Pitt in 2009?s Inglourious Basterds.)
“I wrote something a few years ago for Brad and me,” Jolie told PEOPLE in May of her script for By the Sea. “Just for fun. Just an independent little art piece. Because we don’t get to do those as much as we’d like. But it’s something really small and experimental.”
The couple have gotten tantalizingly personal in the past, with Pitt telling CBS This Morning in 2012 that Jolie “is still a bad girl. Delightfully so. It’s not for public consumption.”
His comments came after Jolie expressed the same sentiment to 60 Minutes, revealing, “I’m still a bad girl. I still have that side of me. It’s just in its place now … It belongs to Brad.”
[From People]
Us Weekly says that Brad and Angie?s villa in Malta is pretty tricked out too, so they should have some moments of luxury with all of the work they?ll be doing. Oh, and Melanie Laurent? Hm… I’m not sure what I think of that.
You know what I was thinking about? Names. We always called them ?the Jolie-Pitts? but I wonder if Angelina is going to officially change her name to Angelina Jolie-Pitt or Angie Pitt? And God knows, Brad might be one of those rare dudes who wants to change his name as well. Would he become Brad Jolie-Pitt? That would be amazing. Obviously, their names will most likely stay the same professionally, but I would get a kick out of it if they changed their names privately.

We?re still talking about the Brangelina Wedding. YAY! Everyone is asking how they pulled it off and how they could dare get married without inviting an ass-load of celebrity friends. Um, because they aren?t Kimye, y?all. Still, some news of the low-key French wedding has managed to slip out (somehow?) and so we?re hearing some new details. Some highlights:
The dress: E! News says Angelina wore white and the gown was ?very traditional, but very Angie, it was comfortable but plain white floor-length antique lace and silk.” No designer is known at this time. She also wore a veil. Apparently, Angelina looked ?so stunning? that when Brad lifted the veil, ?he gasped.? I bet the dress has sleeves too, don?t you think?
Something old: Angelina wore a small gold locket that belonged to her late mother, and she put a small photo of Marcheline Bertrand in the locket.
What did the kids wear? A source says: “The boys all wore tiny matching cream linen suits which were just like Brad’s [tux] while the girls had each chosen a dress to match their own individual style and they had them specially made.”
Wedding bands: the bands were designed by their friend Robert Procop. Procop and Pitt designed Angelina?s engagement ring together and Procop and Jolie worked on her jewelry line, The Style of Jolie, together.
Guests: Brad’s family was there, including his parents, his brother and sister and their kids. No Jon Voight and there’s no mention of James Haven either.
Costs: The wedding was relatively inexpensive – there were so few guests, Brad and Angie’s Miraval chef did the meal and there wasn’t a huge spectacle.
The Vows: A source tells E!, “Brad and Angie said handwritten vows telling each other how much they love each other and their beautiful family and they both had tears in their eyes as did everyone else. It was short but loaded with meaning, and it was a lovely way to start life in their new family home now that the building work is finally finished.”
The Food: They had a wedding lunch of “local hams, cheeses, freshly caught sea bass, Italian pastas and champagne, as well as Chateau Miraval ros wine. There were three different types of cakes, all picked by the kids?one was a strawberry ice cream one, another was a three chocolate gateau and a third had fresh cream and raspberries.” Aw. Three kinds of desserts!! YES.
Everyone is happy: A source told Us Weekly, ?This was a total surprise, but something they were obviously planning on doing when the time was right. Everyone is happy for them. It was small and family and friends only, just like they wanted. I’m happy they pulled it off. We all consider them married anyway, but now it’s official.”
French locals had no idea: An official in the French village of Correns told People Mag, ?No one in Correns knew a thing. It was a marriage which seems to have been carried out in total intimacy and absolute discretion.?
Brad is happy and glowing: A reporter who attended Brad?s Fury photocall on Thursday said Brad “wore his band but didn’t play with it like sometimes people do when they have a new ring.? The reporter also said: “At the end, we were just talking and I said, ‘Congratulations!’ and he gave me a big smile and said, ‘Thank you, man!’ He looked amazing today. He was very animated, very invested. Very alive.”
There?s a lot of debate as to whether Angelina and Brad will release any photos from their wedding. God knows. I could see decent reasons for and against, but I kind of wonder if they might wait and maybe Brad will release the wedding portrait he took of Angelina, you know? Something like that ? he loves taking photos of his Angelina and the kids, and I could see W Mag or Vanity Fair offering him the chance to just publish HIS wedding photos.

Um, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie got married this weekend. They went for the weekend when everyone was concentrating on the Emmys and VMAs. THEY ARE MARRIED. THEY GOT MARRIED IN FRANCE.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were married Saturday in Chateau Miraval, France, says a spokesman for the couple.
Jolie and Pitt wed Saturday in a small chapel in a private ceremony attended by family and friends. In advance of the nondenominational civil ceremony, Pitt and Jolie also obtained a marriage license from a local California judge. The judge also conducted the ceremony in France.
The couple’s children took part in the wedding. Jolie walked the aisle with her eldest sons Maddox and Pax. Zahara and Vivienne threw petals. Shiloh and Knox served as ring bearers, the spokesman says.

The Associated Press confirmed the news on Twitter as well. This is not a drill. THIS IS HAPPENING. How did they manage to keep it so undercover?
